Dishonored takes the top prize, while Journey picks up five gongs at the ninth
annual Bafta Games Awards in London.

While maybe not as celebrated as its cinematic cousin (yet), the video game industry had its own Bafta awards ceremony at the London Hilton to celebrate the best titles of 2012.

It was downloadable games that found the most success on the night, with Sony’s artistic pilgrimage Journey picking up five awards, while there was recognition for Telltale’s The Walking Dead, Fireproof Games’ The Room and Simon Reed’s New Star Soccer.

However, despite Journey being hotly tipped as the winner of Best Game, it was Arkane’s superb stealth-action title Dishonored that received the night’s top award.

Meanwhile, Valve’s Gabe Newell was the recipient of the prestigious Bafta fellowship.

The ninth edition of the Games Awards saw actors, pop stars and TV personalities grace the red carpet, proving that video games are not just for geeks.
